About the restaurant

62 years of loyal customers can't be wrong. We are grateful to all of our customers, employees, and critics (...though we may not always agree!). The only way to find out the truth is with a visit. Oft imitated, never duplicated. Thank you in advance.

I’ve been going to the HOPR for decades! The food and service are always impeccable. The noise level changes with whatever parties are seated near you, but they’re happy noises. This last time we were informed that the policy of receiving a second slice has changed, and then we were asked if that changes what we ordered. It’s okay, prices go up and staff gets a raise, I get it. In the end, we will come back again and again!

About the restaurant

Since its opening in 1974, prime steaks and martinis have never gone out of style at this Palo Alto institution. The atmosphere is very clubby with fireplaces, dark wood, sports memorabilia and plush leather booths tucked into the many nooks throughout the dining room. Famous for their slow-roasted prime rib & hand-cut U.S.D.A Prime Steaks, they also offer fresh seafood, cold water lobster tail & succulent shellfish. The 20 oz. Bone-In Rib eye Steak is the Boss’ Favorite while the Double Cut Filet Mignon runs a close second. Sundance is respected for serving the best food money can buy coupled with value & simplicity – a welcome relief for serious food & steak aficionados. The menu is supported by an award-winning wine list that features over 400 selections focusing on highly allocated Napa Valley Cabernets. Exceptional ratings & numerous restaurant awards rank Sundance the Steakhouse as a true dining destination.

Another great meal, as always! We had a young lady with dietary restrictions in our group, and they did a great job of helping her make good choices. The sound can get a little loud on a busy evening, but never offensive. For a high-end steak house, you can't go wrong at Sundance.

We celebrated our friends' wedding and they joined us for dinner as a wedding present. First of all, the service with Fouad and the team was impeccable. The appetizers and salads were superb, especially the caesar salad made at the table. We ordered the flat iron steak and our friends ordered the surf and turf special of the night. Everything was prepared perfectly and tasted delicious. The complimentary after dinner drinks capped off a wonderful experience.

Forbes Mill in Danville delivers on all fronts. My steak was cooked perfectly, and the loaded baked potato was the ideal side—classic and satisfying. Their wine list is well-selected with some standout bottles, and the corkage fee is reasonable. The way they handled and decanted our wine showed real attention to detail. We enjoyed both starters: shrimp and calamari, each done just right and a great start to the meal, especially with a pre-dinner cocktail. Dessert kept the standard high—simple, well-made, and enjoyable. Jesse made the night even better with his attentive, friendly service, letting us enjoy a long Saturday evening without feeling rushed. The atmosphere was lively but comfortable, perfect for catching up with a friend. In short, Forbes Mill delivers consistently great food and service. It’s a spot where you know you’ll have a quality experience in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

We had a delicious time at Lolinda and the service was outstanding. Started to well crafted cocktails, and took recommendations from the staff and added a few more items. We had the Argentinian ribeye with chimichurri and a glass of Cabernet. We ended the dinner with fresh churros. The highlight was the ceviche with corn fritters. High quality for a very reasonable price.

About the restaurant

Located in San Francisco’s Design District, Niku Steakhouse is a meat-focused restaurant, highlighting an in-house dry aging program, exclusive cuts of coveted Japanese A5 wagyu with an emphasis on wood fired cooking.

Niku, by the Omakase Restaurant Group, hosts a dining room oriented around a roaring custom binchotan charcoal and wood-fired grill, where guests watch as Executive Chef Dustin Falcon (Lazy Bear, The French Laundry) and his team prepare steaks to perfection. At Niku, there is a true marriage of American and Japanese sensibilities. Falcon’s cooking is driven by the terroir of Northern California — which finds its way onto the menu through foraged ingredients and products from local farmers — met with the highest quality domestic and A5 Japanese Beef.
